Categories     Desserts

Time 1h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 14

2¾ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup buttermilk (see note)
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
4 cups confectioners' sugar
Sprinkles, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Butter and flour a 9x13-in pan, or use nonstick cooking spray with flour in it, such as Baker's Joy or Pam with Flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or beaters), beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. (Don't worry if the batter looks a little curdled at this point.)
  • Reduce the speed to low, then beat in one-third of the flour mixture, followed by half of the buttermilk. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add another third of the flour, followed by the remaining buttermilk. Beat in the remaining flour, then scrape down the bowl and beat again until the batter is evenly combined. Do not overmix.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cake is set and lightly golden around the edges, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set the cake on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or beaters), combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and salt. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat until aerated and light, about 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and add about half of the confectioners' sugar; mix on low to combine. Gradually add the remaining sugar, keeping the speed on low. Once all of the sugar is mixed in, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • When the cake is cool, use a butter knife or small offset spatula to swirl the frosting lavishly over top. The cake is best enjoyed fresh on the day it is baked, but it will keep nicely for a few days. Store in an airtight container (or cover tightly with plastic wrap) at room temperature.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk
4 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (325g) cake flour
1 1/2 cups (310g) sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups (320g) raspberries
4 tbsp (60ml) water
1 cup (207g) sugar
3 tbsp + 1/2 tsp cornstarch
16 oz (452g) cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup (172g) butter, room temperature
10 cups (1150g) powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch or two of salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides. 2
  • . Combine the milk, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract in a large bowl, then separate about 3/4 cup of the mixture into another bowl or measuring cup. About 1 1/4 cups should remain in the other bowl. Set both aside.
  • . In a large mixer bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • . With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the butter about a tablespoon at a time, allowing it to incorporate before adding the next tablespoon. As you add more butter, the mixture will start to clump together a bit a should end up resembling wet sand.
  • . Add the larger of the reserved egg mixture (about 1 1/4 cups) to the dry ingredients/butter mixture. Stir on the lowest speed until it's incorporated, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. 6.
  • Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 45 seconds to a minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 7.
  • Turn the speed down to low and slowly add the remaining egg mixture in a slow stream until incorporated. 8.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl, then turn speed back up and mix until well combined, about 10-15 seconds. 9.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the three cake pans and bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 10
  • Remove cakes from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. The cakes will pull away from the sides of the pan a little as they cool. 11
  • To make the raspberry filling, add the raspberries and water to a food processor and puree until smooth. If you'd like, you can strain the puree to remove the seeds. 12
  • Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir in the raspberry puree. 13
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring consistently until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 8-10 minutes. 14
  • Allow to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Refrigerate and allow to cool completely. 15
  • When ready to build the cake, make the frosting. Add the cream cheese and butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until well combined and smooth. 16
  • Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. 17
  • Add the vanilla extract and salt mix until well combined. 18
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. 19
  • To put the cake together, use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the cakes so that they're flat. Refer to my tutorial, if needed. 20.
  • lace the first cake on a serving plate or a cardboard cake round. 21.
  • ipe a dam of frosting around the outside of the cake. Refer to my tutorial, if needed. Spread about 1/2 of the filling evenly on top of the cake. 22.
  • lace the second cake on top and add another dam of frosting and the remaining raspberry filling. 23.
  • op the cake with the final cake layer and frost with the remaining frosting. Refer to my tutorial, if needed. 24.
  • f desired, use a 9 inch offset spatula to create a design in the sides of the cake. Pipe shells around the top edge of the cake. I used Ateco tip 847. Finish off the cake with some fresh raspberries. 25.
  • efrigerate cake until ready to serve. Cake is best when allowed to sit out for an hour or two before serving so that it comes a little closer to room temperature. Cake is best when stored well covered for 3-4 days.

VANILLA SHEET CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Vanilla Sheet Cake With Vanilla Buttercream Frosting image

I was searching for a Vanilla Cake recipe for a friend's birthday and could not find what I wanted, so I combined a few recipes and came up with a very moist, flavorful cake. This recipe includes the cake mix extender I used.My DH who does not like a "white cake" loved it and our friend said it might be my best yet. I used bake even strips to ensure a flat top on the cake and baked at a lower temperature. Hope you enjoy it as much as they did.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter and give the cake a tender crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This vanilla buttermilk sheet cake with raspberries and orange cream cheese frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and tender, with a delicate vanilla flavor. The frosting is light and fluffy, with a tangy orange flavor that perfectly complements the cake.
